The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is confident of winning majority of the seats in the Lok Sabha elections and the number will be much more than the combined strength of the Congress, BRS and the Majlis Party in Telangana as people are sure to teach a lesson to Chief Minister Revanth Reddy for his “unkept” promises, said Rajya Sabha MP and national OBC Morcha president K. Laxman on Sunday.
In an informal interaction with the media at the party State office, the senior BJP leader accused the Chief Minister of trying to spread “disinformation” about the Narendra Modi government by claiming that it intended to change the Constitution and remove reservations for the marginalised sections, but “people did not believe him”. “The Modi government enhanced quota and did not touch existing ones in the last two terms,” he said.
The BJP has never opposed Backward Classes (BC) census and in fact, the Central government had given permission to the States to conduct their own socio-economic surveys to arrive at definitive data because of the varied caste composition across the country, he maintained.
